We hope every democrat in Tillamook County will read the gush which is ap pearing in the Ocean Wave, compiled by a Filipino Junta in Tillamook City, which is composed of a few well-known demo, crats trying to pose as disgruntled re publicans and a few disappointed repub lican office seekers, who, having failed to get what they wanted, have turned trai tors and are now prostituting themselves with democrats and want to run that party. Such is Tillamook City’s Filipino Junta, and if the Headlight does not miss its guess, it is the right kind of cam paign stuff to make every respectable democrat blush with shame, feel disgust ed and humiliated to think that these parties are using the democratic* party of this county through which they can vent their personal spleen. That is all it amounts to, and that is the essence of the articles from beginning to end, as every democrat can see for himself if he will take the trouble to read between the lines. We feel sorrv to see the demo cratic party in t his county dragged down to the level of those who form the Fili pino Junta, who write such silly, absurd, ridiculous, idiotic gusli to vent their spite, for it belittles the democratic party to such an extent that no one can have the least confidence in it. especially as it is being swayed ny a little small, small lit tleclick of star chamber, ring rulers, who have put their heads together in this city to concoct a lot of personal abuse and throw it at a few of the nominees on the republican ticket. Personally the editor of the Headlight has no objection to tilt* Filipino Junta's criticism, for we leel flattered at having so many bouquets thrown at us, even if it does eniiuate from the little scoffers, but when it conies to assailing individual members on the republican ticket that is a different mat ter, and it is time that republicans re sented such low down politics. The Headlight has not printed a word of dis respect about any of the candidates on the democratic ticket, nor do we intend to unjustly linrl personal abuse at them with the a vowed object of lowering them in the public estimation or to attempt to belittle them in their profession or business. We believe every fair -minded democrat will coincide with the Head light when we say that the candidates on the republican ticket are deserving of the same lair treatment. But the Fili pino Junta has resorted to personalities and political lies. When the Headlight called upon republicans to attend the primaries the response was spontaneous, with the result that a representative re publican coilvention nominated a clean ticket, and because it is a clean ticket, with candidates with clean records, the Filipino J unta isendea voring to besmirch the characters ol individual members of the republican ticket. Let the response be just as spontaneous when we call up on republicans to resent these personal attacks as it was when the Headlight called upon them to stamp out the Sap pington graft. With an enthusiasm and determination they made a clean sweep, and we ask republicans again to rise in righteous indignation ami for the second time wipe out the political grafters and tax eaters, as well as the Filipino Junta in Tillamook City. The first Monday in June, so as to demonstrate more fully that the political gralters and tax eaters and 1 tile or ruin factions cannot domi- nate Tilllamook polities any longer. They have had their day and the tax payers do not proposed to be fleeced any longer with high taxation on account of them. à I- The British Tax no Food.

Wheat and flour have advanced materially since the announcement of the government's new policy for raising revenue and a further increase in the price of breadatuttM would not lie surpris ing. It is rather remarkable that so capable and experienced a finance min inter as Hicks Beach should havecerious- ly thought a tax on food would not in crease the price, for he certainly ought to have undeist Mai that British merch ants would protect themselves by mak ing the co maimer pay the tax. Their course is perfectly natural and as the United Kingdom imports the greater part of its breadstuff* they may lie able to maintain the advanced price. What effect the increased cost of food will have upon the mass of British con- s inner* remains to be seen, but it is hardly to be suplMieed that there will be no populat complaint, for to millions of the people of the United Kingdom even a slight increase in »he cost of food is a serious matter The working classes are not as a whole prosperous and indus trial conditions there for the last two or three years have not l»een favorable T » very many of the people a slight ad- pitiontothe e mt of living mav mean privation, since they are already com- defied to practice the closest economy It is to I m » rx|HTle»l, therefore, that there will I m * a more or less vigorous outcry against the result of the food tax I lit1 it will, of comae, In* useless, since the government must have more revenue and this is the simplest way of obtaining it No doubt the chancellor of the ex chequer would have been glad to have found some other practicable and less unsatisfactory way of providing for the heavy demands upon the national treas ury The Biili-h tax upon breadstuff* is a matte* of some interest to tins coun try, which furnish»»* most of the flour and u In at consumed in the United Kingdom.
